Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-114 + 3x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-114 + 3x + x2 = 0

Solving
-114 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '114' to each side of the equation.
-114 + 3x + 114 + x2 = 0 + 114

Reorder the terms:
-114 + 114 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 114
